10 Awesome Animated Superhero TV Shows That You Should Check Out

We are currently enjoying a golden age of live-action superhero television right now, with more shows based on both our favourite comic book heroes and lesser known properties being produced than ever before. Arrow, The Flash, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Legends of Tomorrow - the list goes on.

4) Batman Beyond (1999-2001)

The DC Animated Universe was never content to simply borrow from the comics without giving a little back – its biggest innovation probably being fan-favourite Harley Quinn. Yet Timm and Dini made perhaps their most impactful contribution to the DC mythos as a whole with Batman Beyond – by creating a whole new Batman!

Set in a cyberpunk future Gotham, the series sees an elderly Bruce Wayne train up wayward teen Terry McGinnis to be the new Batman. While it could have been a terrible excuse for a Batman show – being divorced from all the familiar elements – Beyond is a success because it keeps the spirit of Batman while being creative with it, too. Terry is a likeable Peter Parker-esque lead, who fights a whole new rogues gallery to boot.

It’s basically Batman training Spider-Man in a sci-fi future. What could be better?
